Mashups Come To Enterprise Software
"We help people create enterprise software mash-ups," rPath CEO Billy Marshall.
It doesn't take long for hip Web 2.0 lingo to get to the staid enterprise market. What Marshall means is that his company's software helps programmers to mix and match open source components with proprietary software and then install that software on an appliance.
The founders of Raleigh, NC-based rPath earned a fortune while working in senior engineering and marketing positions at RedHat. rPath has been operating in stealth but has now announced $6.4M in VC funding. As one observer points out: " It sounds like rPath's software enables some kind of black-box that can be sold to customers which makes them totally dependent on the software supplier ... Call me clueless, but didn't we have this once long ago, only then it was called mainframe computing. We, just substitute 'appliance' for' mainframe' but the business arrangement is the same."
Progeny, a start-up founded by Debian project creator Ian Murdoch, offers a similar service in partnership with NCS Technology.
